India, Dec. 16 -- Federal prosecutors on December 16 announced charges against four alleged members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front in connection with what authorities say was a plot to bomb US companies on New Year's Eve.

In a post on X, First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said the suspects were arrested Friday in the Mojave Desert, describing the case as involving domestic terrorism. "We have zero tolerance for domestic terrorism in the United States," Essayli wrote, while naming the four defendants.

The defendants have been charged in a federal criminal complaint with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device, according to court filings cited by USA Today.
